SINGER W1466 - Manual (Page 11)

UPPER THREADING
1. Turn the balance wheel toward you to raise the
take-up lever to its highest position.
2. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin.
3. Lead the thread through the upper arm thread
guides.
4. Run the thread through the thread guide bar to
the tension discs, then around and between
them from right to left.
5. Draw the thread up through the check spring
and with a slight tug into the hook. (See
insert, Fig. 10)
6. Pass the thread under the bar and up through the eye of the take-up lever from right to
left.
7. Lead thread down through the face plate guides and then through the needle bar guide
from the back.
8. Thread needle FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, drawing it through about 3 or 4 inches. Hold the
end of upper thread loosely and turn hand wheel-toward you until the needle goes all the
way down and comes back up. A loop will be formed over the upper thread which then
can be pulled out straight. Place both thread ends under the slot of the presser foot and
draw toward the back of the machine, leaving both threads three or four inches long.
